Book for Olympus Pen E-P3? Does anyone know if/when there will be some good books for this camera?

The author of the E-P2 by Magic Lantern Books will not be doing an E-P3book. I don

I've only had mine for about a month but no problem so far. I would definitely contact Olympus support. I had a question about the camera when I first received it and they could not have been any nicer. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would then contact Amazon for an exchange.

It doesn't come with one but you can buy one from the Olympus website. It's $10 but is a very nice book, not just a tiny book that you'd need a magnifying glass to use. Well worth the money for this exceptional little camera.

You should be able to obtain one through the Olympus website, we'd provide a link but it is likely Amazon would remove it for security reasons.

I purchased the Olympus flash made for the camera. No issues. It. Has been OK.

Danny... I think (hope) that there's a misunderstanding. No one is questioning the fact that E-P1 units are shipping... the question is whether the *specific* kit containing the 17mm lens and optical viewfinder is shipping. Can you state that you have received an email from Olympus regarding the 17mm lens + viewfinder kit?

If you're interested in the Olympus E-PL3, the good news is that Olympus makes two electronic viewfinders you could use on it. The E-VF3 is less expensive but gives a slightly smaller, lower-resolutions display. The E-VF2 is bigger and gives a slightly larger, higher-resolution display. Either of these fits into the accessory shoe and accessory port and, runs off the camera battery. You must manually switch between LCD viewing and EVF viewing. The E-VF3 often sells for about $159 new but can often be found used or refurbished for a little over $100. The E-VF2 usually runs about $40 to $50 more. These electronic viewfinders can be used on several other Olympus models as well. Bridge cameras such as the Nikon P510 and newer P520, Canon SX40 and Panasonic FZ60/FZ 100 have electronic viewfinders built in. The tradeoff is that they have smaller sensors. One low-cost point 'n' shoot camera still has an optical viewfinder built in. The Canon A1400 can be found new for as little as $89.95, and like its predecessor, the A1200 and A1300, it's a good picture taker with a sharp lens and excellent processing engine. Its optical viewfinder is tiny, but in bright-light situations it's just enough to be able to frame and compose your shots well.

There is a small external flash come with the camera. If you need a powerful one, check out the Olympus website for recommended flash :)

I have a 1MB card from a previous camera that works in the Olympus and a 32 MB I'm using now . If youare taking videos the higher cap would be useful . Both are Sandisk brand .

I have an Olympus E420 and I had no issues with it. It just took some time to get used to the proper technique. I can't speak for your model though.

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S;, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

It just doesnt seem like any of my pictures are focused well and that includes ones taken on a tripod with IS turned off of course. I keep reading and trying everything to no avail. I may contact Olympus and see if something is wrong with the camera. I entered a question about my problems in a forum and the responses were so cruel that I wont ever go back to that forum. There is a review that says the E520 pics can be soft... does that mean out of focus too?

Thanks, Luckybook. I have got mine from amazon yesterday. It is fantastic. I have prepared tripod, carrying case, a 1G memor stick pro duo for it and they all fit well. Voila~~

I have the Olympus E510 kit, so i'm biased. But I love my camera. It has all the features you could want in a DSLR, amatuer or pro. However, I don't think you can go wrong with the Canon or Nikon either. They all take great pictures, so it really boils down to ergonomics and personal preferences. I chose the Olympus.

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

I gave that camera to my God daughter a year or two ago. I guess the shutter speed is okay. Check the specs on Olympus' web site for the shutter speed and other details.
